History

The Victorian Infection and Immunity Network came to life in 2004, when the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University established the successful Monash Infection and Immunity Network at Monash University. In 2009 the MIIN then evolved into the present day VIIN.

We have since grown to a 1000+ member organisation encompassing Victoria’s major universities and research organisations. We provide networking and development opportunities to Victorian Infection and Immunity researchers, students, care providers and associated industries.

We have strong ties with commercial organisations in the infection and immunity field; the VIIN Industry Alliance has been in operation since late 2012 and has funded a number of collaborative project grants between academia and industry in Victoria.
